Biography

Active in SWLing and vintage radio in the 80s.

Active in emergency & auxiliary comms since 1996 or so; currently the radio officer / emergency coordinator for my county.

Licensed in 1991, upgraded in 2006, only active in HF starting 2014.

Started with phone on 17 - 12 - 10, added PSK31 and JT65. I like ragchewing, and some digital modes aren't really "conversational," but they helped me add several states and countries.

I prefer LoTW, but will QSL via eQSL and buro also, and direct with return postage.
